BALTIMORE, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- RWD Technologies, LLC (RWD), a global company that develops and implements human and organizational performance solutions, announced today that the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has exceeded 1 million education course completions through RWD's University360(R) Learning Management System (LMS), a full-featured online administrative and learning environment. RWD and AICPA, a national professional association of Certified Public Accountants, have collaborated for more than six years developing and maintaining the continuing education program CPExpress, which utilizes the University360 solution. With the help of University360, AICPA successfully manages and provides a fully searchable course catalog consisting of over 900 courses and 1,200 hours of continuing professional education and enrollment services to over 350,000 members.
As part of the AICPA's membership requirement, members must complete 120 hours of continuing professional education for each three-year reporting period. The University360 solution allows AICPA members to search, preview, register and complete courses, as well as complete tests and surveys, document external training, view transcripts and view and print certificates.
"Continuing education means new courses and new materials are regularly introduced to our members due to the fast-paced nature of our industry," said David Tolson, director, AICPA CPE Product Development. "Over six years ago we made the decision to move to University360 because we could integrate third-party courseware with existing systems and have the flexibility to accommodate new content as well. The solution also provides the key search and functionality features we were looking for. Throughout our long-term relationship, RWD has been an ideal partner and has worked closely with us to meet our specific needs. Our partnership with RWD has enabled us to provide an efficient, easy-to-use and comprehensive learning management system which supports the continuing education of our members."
"AICPA has shaped the University360 solution by helping us develop a tool that truly fits the needs of their members and organization," said Bill Spies, product manager for RWD. "AICPA's feedback and recommendations have been invaluable as real-world examples of how an LMS can make a positive impact for an organization. During the course of the partnership, we have incorporated their experiences into University360's design and functionality. We believe the partnership and resulting product make University360 an ideal solution for any organization looking to move to an LMS system that can provide user-friendly, functional features while possessing the underlying architecture necessary to integrate existing learning content with new content and allow for future upgrades as learning technology progresses."
RWD's University360 Learning Management System is a full-featured online administrative and learning environment. The system can create and manage courseware catalogs, schedule instructor-led or online courses, create role-based subscriptions, track completions, and manage eCommerce transactions. The University360 Learning Management System encompasses the full range of learning delivery methods, including classroom training, self-paced instruction, and web-based eLearning.
